We are going to say this real slowly, so that those with bogus claims can understand.

With the Shelby Golden Lions advancing to the State Championship Title Game next Saturday, it will be the SECOND APPEARANCE in that game this decade.

It will be the SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE DECADE WITH A MINIMUM OF TWO OR MORE APPEARANCES IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Pause…and let that sink in again.

Seven consecutive decades. A minimum of two championship title game appearances in each.

Look at this

2021 2025
2013 2014 2015 2016 2018 2019
2004 2005 2006 2007
1997 1998
1986 1987 1988
1970 1972 1974 1975 1976
1963 1968 1969

NO other program in North Carolina is even remotely close to that level of sustained success.

It is great to be a Golden Lion.
People do not hate on Shelby or Shelby's success. They just hate you.

Those dudes are pecker heads.

You can’t be nice to them.

You would not even have this thread if it were not for Shelby’s success.
You know it. You have admitted it.
Now you don’t like it because this week, The Dynasty crashes your party…again.

A county rival team, 2 classification above us (400-500 more students), defeats Shelby by only 7 points in the second game of the season.
That team is now playing for the 5A State Title.
And you want to beat your chest. Go ahead.

Shelby holds the all time wins lead over Crest.
Shelby has multiple consecutive year wins over Crest. More than 4 consecutive.
Shelby beat Crest 3 out of the 5 years surrounding Crest’s 1994 and 1996 4A Title years. And Shelby was at low 3A and then 2A student numbers.

We pull for Crest.
We have family members that are Crest alums.
You haters will hate. But we shove these numbers in your face because we have to.
There are people viewing everyday that are unaware of the Shelby Football Dynasty.
No apologies.
And if you just hate our style, we don’t care.
We are not on here to talk about eating, chewing, deer meat, and your mother.
That is for others, and we truly enjoy and encourage that.

We are on here to state the true, historic facts on the absolutely unique True Dynasty of Shelby High Football.

Pecker head.

Crest is the best team in CLEVELAND COUNTY. Everyone understands it. Your delusion means nothing to me. Here’s a stat for you 🖕.

Just remember. We ALL believe that those 3A rings our ours. You should collect them and come kneel down before the white horse in our lobby and cast them at its feet.

If you don’t like it. Learn to love it. To be THE MAN- You got to BEAT THE MAN! What did the scoreboard say honky?

For the last four years??

🥜 - Get on them !

Really weak.

Then show some Championship class.
Act like you have been here before.

Shelby is still teaching you how to win…

Congrats to the Chargers and the Lions on making another trip to the title game.. I swear Im being honest I hope they both win it all...

I just love me some Cleveland County Football

very true about Burns. They pull that win out against Brevard, there’s a pretty good chance there are 3 Cleveland County teams playing for a state title!

I think they should let the Shelby folks stay personally. For the price of one ticket each they get to see the third best team in Cleveland County play the 14th seed out of the East for the 3A title.

Then they can stay and watch the 2025
Cleveland County Champions
5A Western Regional Champions
Play for the 5A Championship.

I’d do that all day if I could watch the best of the best from Cleveland County represent our County like we can’t.

In a sense Crest can actually be the 8A champion. How? Glad you asked.

5A plus 3A = 8A. Since they like stats so much. They won’t give us our rings but they know in their heads that they’re really ours so that makes me smile.
Your playing for the little 3A championship and Shelby is playing for the little 2a championship. Your playing a team that 2a Tarboro destroyed.

True. We said we’d kill them. We’d have destroyed Eastern Randolph too.But look at the last 3 teams we played. Shelby couldn’t beat any of them. And you could not beat us.

We’re playing 5A football. Stay down there where you belong.

Face it. Crest for now is the PREMIER football team Cleveland County. We run this County. There is nothing you can say to make it otherwise.

Wait until you see what’s next. You have no IDEA.

Bow down to YOUR County champions. Give us what you owe us.

I can’t help to think about how this upcoming weekend could have turned out for CC overall. Cleveland County has four teams in four different divisions currently. Two are in their respective state championship games and both will be favored to win. Two went out in the 3rd round. Burns could have easily been in a state championship game this year if they had received one break. Kings Mtn lost FIVE returning starters to transfer and their OC late that drastically impacted their season. Five key starters at that. This made KM have to go extremely young in key positions which hurt depth, strength, and handling adversity for KM. I thought this season once the realignment was settled that CC had a chance to do something historic with placing every team in a western final with the possibility of placing all four county teams in state title games. It would have been glorious and a culmination of what CC football is in this state. Good luck Shelby and Crest next week as you represent the county on the biggest stage in the state.

You really are delusional.
Go get something to eat.
Rest a bit.
Then call us back.

When you hire a head coach, you tell him the MOST important thing he must do, is beat Shelby.

Why is that?

Man, you have the personality of a wet sock.

It’s like someone said. I could appreciate all of your crap if I thought you were doing it for fun but I think you’re serious.

I respect the football program at Shelby. Most of us do. I even said that the stats are impressive. They are. It’s a storied program and anyone that says otherwise is lying.

But you. Let’s just say you are sort of a turd.

Good luck to Shelby. I hope they win it for those kids sakes, for all of the folks I know that do a lot for the program over there including you. Also, because I like Cleveland County football to do well.

There’s the olive branch paw paw. It’s the only one you’ll get. Go argue with Reidsville fans. It’s like Pot and Kettle arguing

Well said bro! The worst thing the state can do is keep us all in different classes. We may beat the piss out of each other next year in the regular season but I could see it happening next year with what I know about all 4. You will have players coming and going like normal but the core of all 4 teams will be dangerous.

Not to change the subject but what is the latest update on Smashmouth?
Hello everybody! This is your old pal Smash here. For some reason I lost my ID when I logged back on after my hospital vacation. Seriously, I want to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes during and unbelievable tough time. I had pretty much gone home to the Lord but thanks to the Dr's and nurses at the Shelby hospital and God not quite done with me, I am still here. The Dr said they just felt like that it was the perfect storm that led to me being put on a ventilator, feeding tube, and 23 days in ICU. I'm still working to get myself back. Dealing with OT, PT, and a nurse visit each week but I feel stronger each day with the good Lord's help. A big thank you to my Preps friends and your kind words. This place can get a little wild but it sure is fun, and at the end of the day we really care about each other.

Now to football...I am so happy for Greg Lloyd! He is getting a much deserved shot at a state title. On a side night, I could not of been more happy or humbled when Coach Lloyd and Trey Albright showed up in my hospital room with a game ball from the KM game. Another shout out to Brad Levine. In 40 years of coaching football, this is his first title game. Sure is good to be back on the big stage for Crest. As far as Shelby, they are just doing Shelby things and trying for yet another state title.

I truly think CC has a legit shot at pulling a 4 of 4 if we stay in 4 classes. A little luck and Burns is there this year.

Go bring home that title Chargers and Golden Lions!

CLEVELAND COUNTY STRONG!

Church time. 😀

Crazy stat…
4 of the 5 teams we lost to this year played in the Western Finals.
3 of our 5 losses are playing for a State Championship.
Wow, and the team y’all where winning against late in the 4th quarter has breezed to the Title game after Burns gave them a battle..So close to having 3 teams in State that would have been crazy

Not that I am ok with it but considering this was supposed to be a down year I will take it. The next few years could be fun for all of us.
